Starting Obsessive-compulsive disorder therapy (OCDT)

What is OCD counseling?

OCD counseling is a specialized therapeutic approach aimed at supporting individuals coping with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). The goal of this counseling is to help clients manage and alleviate the distressing symptoms of OCD by systematically addressing their obsessive thought patterns and compulsive behaviors.

How does OCD counseling work?

In OCD counseling, Thriveworks Cambridge therapists use cognitive behavioral techniques, including exposure and response prevention, to assist you in addressing and managing your obsessive thoughts and compulsive behaviors. An OCD therapist will collaborate with you to identify and modify irrational thought patterns while gradually and gently exposing you to anxiety-triggering situations, helping to disrupt the cycle of obsessive-compulsive rituals and promote healthier coping strategies.

Is OCD counseling conducted in person or online?

Thriveworks OCD counseling in Cambridge, MA is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.

How long does OCD counseling last?

The number of sessions for OCD counseling is variable, contingent upon the individual’s unique needs, the severity of their condition, and their progress during treatment. Typically, Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), commonly used for OCD, comprises around 12 to 16 weekly sessions, but the exact session count can be customized based on the individual’s response to treatment and therapeutic objectives. Some opt for a more extended duration to comprehensively manage symptoms and address complex issues.

The counselor with which I have been paired is extremely insightful into my mental well being and is much appreciated. I cannot say enough positive things about my experience thus far to do it the justice that it deserves.

I've been working with Rayla and I feel so fortunate that we hit it off right away. She makes me feel very comfortable and like I'm just talking with a friend. It feels like therapy in that I'm doing the work, but she makes it feel more comfortable and natural.

The gentleman I spoke to during the intake, I think his name was Ryan, was unbelievable. He was so compassionate and understanding to my needs. He referred me to an incredible therapist, Rayla Johnson. She has been nothing but an absolute ray of sunshine, such a great fit for me, and has helped me in ways that I simply cannot comprehend. Your company has been extremely helpful in getting my wellbeing to where it needs to be. Thank you!
